HIS 1ORY
HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1931
In September, 1927, we entered Sanford High School. Like all fresh-
men. we knew very little about the school and its ways. After several
days of walking into Mrs. Earle’s history class when we should have been
in the gymnasium or going to a senior French class instead of freshman
algebra, we fell into line.
Glenna Hobbs won the Goodall Medal her freshman year. This was
a great honor not only to her. but to the whole class. As a class, our scholar-
ship has been only average; hut we have worked hard and faithfully.
The Fleur de Lis. a society formed by the Girls’ Council our fresh-
man year, has done a very active work among the students and has given
them a good time as well.
The Boys’ Club formed our sophomore year by the Boys’ Council has
worked with the Council to aid the boys and help them through many dif-
ficulties. Boys in our class who have been members of this club are:
Edward Littlefield. Leslie Norton. Edgar Hutchins, Everett Webber, Clifton
Bemis, Raymond Morrill, Spero Vlacheas, and Douglas Metcalfe.
Sophomore year a Home Economics Club was formed by the members
of the home economics department. The club has done a great deal of
good work among the girls and at Christmas time has helped the less for-
tunate people. Some of the girls won honors in a National Dressmaking
Contest the same year.
The Library Association was formed our junior year by the girls who
have charge of the library different periods. They have made great im-
provement in the library and have drawn up rules which will keep the books
in good condition. In the spring of 1930, all those girls who had served
one year received a charm.
Our junior year, the cafeteria was installed and has been a great help
to us all. A hot lunch has enabled us to do better work, especially when
we have remained at school for afternoon work. We hope the under-
classmen appreciate this privilege as we do.
As a whole, our class possesses unusual dramatic talent. This has been
shown at our various socials and in the dramatics class play, “The Rivals,’’
given our junior year. This year it was displayed in “The Romantic Age,’’
given by the senior members of the dramatics class. In April of this year,
Barbara Webster did a creditable piece of work in the speaking contest.
The “Red and White,” with Thelma Poulin as editor-in-chief and Miriam
Diggery, Glenna Hobbs, Spero Vlacheas, Mary Shapleigh, Mildred Mellor,
Barbara Webster, and Beatrice Lord as senior members of the board, this
year won second place at a journalistic meet at the University of Maine at
Orono. The paper also received second class honor rating in the National
Scholastic Press Association contest in Minneapolis. On November 7 of
this year, the entire board took a trip to Boston. This trip was arranged
by the courtesv of Mr. Adler. While in Boston, the board visited a metro-
politan newspaper plant.

This year the orchestra will lose through graduation some talented
musicians. Among these are: Panline Moulton, Orvilas Roussin, and Roger
Reed, violinists: George Ellingwood. trombonist; Eleanor Eaton, pianist;
and Edward Littlefield, who can play numerous instruments.
In all sports we have taken an active part. We have not always come
out on top, but at least we have, shown good sportsmanship. In inter-class
track meets and baseball games, we have been noted for our class spirit.
Last year Miss Eaton’s class in child care, composed of Arlene Giles,
Helen Whicher, Pauline Moulton. Muriel Goodwin, Gertrude Patten. Mil-
dred Morris, Elsie Howgate. Esther LaCross. Dorothy Burgess, and Alice
Hammond, started a Nursery School. It proved to he a great success.
This is the first time that a high school class has successfully carried on a
nursery school.
Those girls of our class who have taken the commercial course have
always been an active group. 'Phis year they formed a club called “The
Pad and Pencil.” The chief purpose of this club was to maintain interest
in the secretarial work. The meetings were held at the homes of different
members, the first and third Thursday evenings of each month. At these
meetings, some special topic was discussed, after which a social time was
enjoyed. The officers were: Elsie Ridley, president; Germaine Baron, vice-
president; Annie Seferlis, secretary; and Dora Bernier, treasurer.
Our English classes have played an important part in our school life.
Even as freshmen, some of our classmates wrote poems, articles, and stories
for the “Red and White” and have continued to do so all four years. Junior
year Mary Shapleigh won first prize in a contest sponsored by the “Current
Literature Magazine” for a poem entitled, “Winter.” Many of her poems
and essays have appeared in the “Red and White.” The debates held by
Miss Emery’s college high division senior year were interesting, and were
attended by members of the various English classes.
This year we have adopted a policy that is different from that of past
senior classes. Last fall an executive committee consisting of all present
and past officers of our class was created to discuss and debate class
matters and to submit their decisions to the class for consideration. We
hope this has been a step forward and will prove to be as profitable to other
classes as it has to us.
We have tried to be good losers in every way; we hope we have been
good winners. We wish the coming classes the greatest success and as
many good times and as much joy as we have had.

Hi.
THE SANDALWOOD BOX
On rainy days, darkness comes early in the New Hampshire hills. My
car had just stalled on an old road five miles from the little town of Gren-
ville. I stepped from the car into the cold, wet drizzle and walked to
the hood. Jerking it up. I found that a bearing was burnt out. I knew
that I might have to remain there all night, as the road looked to be very
little traveled. Glancing around. I saw, a few feet away, two stone gate-
posts. As a night in a damp car did not appeal to me, I approached the
entrance to find some comfortable abode for the night.
A gloomy avenue of trees confronted me, and the shrill screech of a
night bird made me shudder. Through the deepening darkness, I could
barely discern a large, old-fashioned house with a dim light showing through
a crack in the drawn blind of one of the upper story windows. I hastened
up the avenue, stumbling several times over stones unseen by me in the
darkness. The rain beat in my face, and the wind seemed a demon ready
to lash my trench coat to shreds. 1 finally reached the porch and crossed
the flags. Just as I was about to lift the brass knocker, the door swung
slowly open; and before me, holding a candle, stood a woman. She was
old and bent, as if the black alpaca dress she wore was a burden. Her
straight, grey hair was drawn tightly away from her forehead. Her face
was furrowed with wrinkles; and her grey, hawk-like eyes bored into me.
“Come in. sir,’’ she said. “You have come at the right moment.”
“I came”—I began, but I never finished, for she said, “Quickly! He is
waiting for you.”
I stepped past her ami found myself in a hall lighted by three candles.
At one side of the room, there was a black horsehair sofa; at the other,
a spiral staircase. Hung along the wall just over the stairs were numerous
oil paintings of men in frills ami velvets of the Revolutionary period. I
heard a footstep behind me and, turning, found myself looking into the
piercing gaze of the old woman, who was apparently the housekeeper.
Still gazing at me, she motioned with a bent finger for me to follow her.
She went past me and began to ascend the staircase. I followed her up
the stairs and down a gloomy corridor till we came to the door at the end.
She opened the door and stepped aside for me to enter. Crossing the
threshold, I found myself in a dimly lighted bed chamber. The room con-
tained a large four-poster, heavily canopied with tapestry.
Slowly following the housekeeper to the foot of the bed. I saw, huddled
among the pillows, a little, withered old man. His scraggly white hair lay
in disorder on the pillow. His faded blue eyes were burning with fever;
and on his peeling lips was a little bloody froth. In his clawlike hand with
blue veins protruding, he held a small sandalwood box carved with Hindu
figures.
“Sir,” the housekeeper said softly, “the man sent by Worth and Sons
Law Office is here.”
“Good. See that the man is out of the house before the doctor comes.”
47
I thought it was about time for me to explain that I was not from Worth
of New York.
“I am”—I began.
“Yes, we know who you are,” said the woman. “You haven’t got time
to give us references.’’ 'Phen she whispered to me, “The master is dying.”
When she had gone, the old man lifted his head to look at me. then spoke
with all the strength he could summon.
“I want you to take this box and give it to Mr. Worth. The contents
are to be divided among my heirs.”
He opened the box. and inside I saw the gleam of jewels.
“He shall never find them—the black scoundrel!” he said, as if to him-
self. The sick man’s voice was gradually growing weaker.
“The doctor who has been attending me for two years knows of the
jewels,” he was again speaking to me. “Several times he has tried to
make me tell him where I have kept them.” He suddenly broke into a
cackling laugh, then said,
“Go. I don’t want him to find you here.”
“But”—I protested as he held the box toward me, “I”—
“Please go,” he broke in. “I am very tired.”
Knowing the man was dying and would be troubled if I refused, I took
the box. 1 thought that, as I was going to New York in a few days, I
could leave it at Worths.
When I took it. he seemed relieved. I went out of the room quietly
and found the housekeeper waiting for me. In a daze I followed her down
the gloomy staircase and to the front door. W hen I stepped on the flags
again, the wind ami rain brought me to my senses. I started down the
walk with the sandalwood box tightly clutched in my hand.
As I neared the gate. I felt as though someone was watching me. When
1 had gone a few steps farther. 1 heard the sound of footsteps on the gravel
behind me; and turning my head a little, I could barely discern the form
of a man. lie was walking as stealthily as a tiger. I think it must have
been the doctor. 1 walked on a little faster. By now, I thought the engine
might be cool enough to start. When I reached the gate, I looked back
and could see nothing; but again I heard the gravel crunch faintly. I ran
to the car and got in, flinging the box on the seat beside me.
My first attempt to start the car failed, but the second was successful.
Without looking back, I started and drove three miles before I stopped
to wait for the engine to cool off. Then I drove on and finally reached the
next town about five in the morning.
While I was registering at the hotel, the clerk asked me about the con-
dition of the road to Grenville. He said there was a man from New York
who wanted to make a trip to some house along the route. I instantly
thought of the man from Worths and resolved to interview him.
After my breakfast, 1 asked to see the stranger and found him to be
48
the very man I was looking for. When I had seen his credentials and
made certain of his identity, I told him of my adventure of the night be-
fore. After I had given him the jewels and explained what the old man
had asked me to do, I inquired who the sick man was. I learned that he
was a wealthy financier, who had gone to the old house in the country for
quiet during his illness.
The next day when I reached home, I found in the paper an account of
his death. His heirs, I learned later, received a large fortune, mostly in
jewels.

THE RIME OF THE VERDANT FRESHMAN
(A parody on “The Ancient Mariner”)
It was a little freshman.
And he stoppeth one of three.
Of all the pupils in the school,
Why did he pick on nie? ,
He holds me with his skinny hand.
“I’m lost again,” quoth he;
"I pray, kind Senior, tell me which
Is room two hundred three.”
Impelled by his despairing glance.
I lead him to his class.
I turn to go, but round me swarm
More freshmen, green as grass. '
I cannot roam the grounds in peace
Or walk the halls within.
For all around me right and left,
I hear the freshmen’s din.
Freshmen, freshmen, everywhere.
Ami not a place to walk.
Freshmen, freshmen, everywhere.
And how the young things talk !

A MIRACLE
I have a Chinese lily bulb which T planted in rich, black leaf mold in a
little green bowl. Green points began pushing up through the rich black-
ness only a few days ago. T noticed the second day that one was lifting
a tiny brush of white pine needles that had lain over it. Since it started,
it has grown almost three-quarters of an inch every twenty-four hours.
My delight in watching it equals that which I feel in the spring, when life
is coming back to the barren hills. Only a few days ago, that bulb lay
dead in my hand—now the green buds are swelling. Soon I shall find
a cluster of blossoms, fragrant as stars, where I left a little shriveled root
to fight for life. The wonder of it dazes me—to think that a handful of
black earth and a cup of water could bring forth this miracle from a dry
brown root!

TO CRAM OR NOT TO CRAM
(A Parody on Hamlet’s Soliloquy)
To cram or not to cram: that is the question;
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of a guilty conscience,
Or to take arms against exams on history,
And by cramming end them. To cram ; to pass,
Content ; and by our passing end
The pangs and thousand throbs
Our consciences are heir to. 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To cram; to pass;
To pass? or yet to flunk: aye, there's the rub;
For now the horrid thought that we may flunk,
When we have crammed the whole night through,
Must give us pause: there’s the respect
That makes calamity of history.
—REBA HARDEN.

LITTLE CHICKS
Did you ever see a trayful of newly hatched chickens? The sight is
one of the most amusing 1 have ever seen. In the tray, all the chickens
are pushing and shoving among the egg-shells. Some put their heads up
to blink at the unaccustomed light and to survey their surroundings. Others
are afraid of the strange sights and sounds and hide their fuzzy heads
in an egg-shell. Conscious of a gnawing feeling, they peep lustily for
something to eat. If one puts his finger in amongst the chicks, they will
pick at it. and their bills are sharper than one would think.
The little chicks are soft and warm. A velvety fuzz covers them, and
their black eyes are shining. They try to walk round on their wabbly
legs, which can hardly support the weight of their round little bodies. As a
cold draft strikes them, they crowd into a corner and shudder. Then one,
more inquisitive than the others, shoves his way up to the top and stands
on the backs of his brothers. In an attempt to keep his balance, he flaps
his wings and cries loudly. His weight inconveniences the under chicks;
and they surge up, knocking him off.
It is comical to see these babies when a loud noise is made. Every
chick runs to a corner of the tray and pushes his head under the other
chicks or puts it into an egg-shell. The frantic yipping is stilled until the
chicks feel that it is safe to look up again.
Each trayful is more cunning than the one before. The helpless chicks
are so appealing and so downy that, no matter where I see them, I must
stop and look at them. It would, indeed, be a very hard-hearted person
that could pass them by.
—BEATRICE LORD.
THE DERELICT
As our boat scraped upon the sandy beach, I jumped into the shallow
water with my Uncle Tom ami Arthur Kingsley to help pull it up on the
shore.
My uncle, owner of “The Dolphin,” was under contract to bring cocoa-
nuts and cocoa from the southern Pacific islands that were not touched
bv the regular trading vessels, lie was a large man. sunburned and wrinkled
from exposure to the four winds, lie bad adopted me when I was very-
young, as my father and mother had been drowned. 1 had been christened
Roger Bryant, but was called “Red" by every one.
“The Dolphin” had stopped at this uncharted island to get a fresh sup-
ply of water ; and Kingsley, my uncle, and I were trying to find some. We
did not know how far inland we would have to go; so we were prepared
for a day’s journey. Each of us carried a canteen, knapsack, rifle, and re-
volver; and my uncle had a rope and small hatchet.
51
We started to follow the shore line, but did not seem to find any opening
in the dense undergrowth where the jungle began. We had almost decided
to turn around and start the other way when, coming around a sharp point.
we saw a fairly large cove. In the cove were the remains of a ship that
must have been wrecked there at least three years before.
As we approached the ship, we saw a strange figure dart from the
opposite side of it into the jungle. We called but received no answer. It
looked like a white man. but he was too far away to make sure.
We went up to the ship and saw that it was almost demolished by storms
and fire. We could not find any name on it.
We left the ship and went towards the jungle where the man had
disappeared. There we found two paths leading into the underbrush. My
uncle told Kingsley to take one. anti he anti I took the other. We were to
fire off our rifles at five minute intervals, and the one who found water
first was to fire three times.
After we had marched along the fairly wide game trail for about half an
hour, we fired two signals without hearing from Kingsley. We stopped and
listened for fifteen minutes. Still we heard no shots. My uncle looked at
me. and we both read the same fear in each other’s eyes—the strange figure
we had seen.
We went back quickly, and started up the path that Kingsley had taken.
We had not gone far before we saw the footprints of a second man that
was following Kingsley. My uncle was good at reading signs, and he ex-
plained to me what had happened. The man following Kingsley was dodg-
ing along behind him and slowly creeping up on him.
We soon came upon a spring, and there we found Kingsley’s hat and
rifle. The ground around the spring was covered with blood. We cast
fearful glances into the surrounding underbrush.
Seeing nothing, we entered the small clearing. Foot prints told the
tragic story. Kingsley had decided to fill his canteen and have a drink
before calling us. While he was kneeling at the spring, the man must
have crept behind him and struck him down with either a knife or a sword,
as we had heard no shot.
After the first shock of surprise, my uncle was enraged. Kingsley had
been one of his life-long friends and had sailed with him on many voy-
ages. Uncle told me to fill both of our canteens and get Kingsley's rifle.
I kneeled to fill the canteens but sprang back with a gasp of horror. Look-
ng up at me from the bottom of the spring was Kingsley’s head. A hor-
rible expression was on his face. 1 called my uncle, and together we got
the head out of the water.
Suddenly we heard a thud behind us. Turning quickly we saw the body
of Kingsley, mutilated but recognizable. We heard a horrible cackling laugh
behind us, and turning around, saw the strange figure that we had •seen
near the boat disappearing down the path. My uncle uttered a hoarse
shout and went after him. I followed as quickly as I could.
It was growing dark in the underbrush, but we could still follow the
path. That rasping laugh sounded close ahead of us. For half an hour,
we followed that sound through the jungle, until we suddenly came upon
52
the beach where the wreck of the ship lay. The man was nowhere in
sight, but we heard his laugh coming from the hull. In the twilight the
remains of the ship made a weird picture, and the waving palms threw dark
shadows across the beach in many strange shapes.
The stillness was broken again by that eerie laugh. We crept to the
side of the ship, looking for a foothold 1»\ which we could climb to the
deck.
We reached the deck. The maniac was nowhere to be seen. Hanging
on the mast was a large lantern. W e found that it was nearly full of oil
and lighted it. With the lamp in one hand and a revolver in the other, my
uncle started for the cabin below.
I was close behind him. for I had no wish to be left alone. As we en-
tered the large cabin, where there were many bunks, the door at the other
end shut softly. My uncle set the lamp on the table, and we looked around
the cabin. On the table were a log book and built-in inkstand.
We looked at the bunks. The sides were rather high ; and standing in
the middle of the room. I could not see into them. I heard my uncle give
a gasp of surprise and horror. I went to where he stood and looked into
the row of bunks. In each lay the skeleton of a man with its skull broken
in. 'Pattered garments hung from the bones. The men must have been
murdered in their sleep. All at once we heard that horrible laugh again.
We rushed to the deck, but saw nothing.
We heard a noise overhead, and looking up saw the maniac climbing the
mast. We watched him spell-bound while he climbed to the crossbar.
lie sat there on the beam and looked down at us. Now Uncle came out of
his trance. He raised his revolver and aimed at the maniac on the bar. The
man seemed to know what he was going to do. for he stood up and tried
to get behind the mast. We heard a loud snap and a crash. The cross-
bar had broken. With the last terrifving scream he was ever to utter, the
maniac crashed to the deck, lie landed on the railing and slid off into the
sea. We never found his body, and I don’t think we tried very hard. Kings-
ley had been avenged.
As we stood at the railing, we heard a hoarse shout from around the
point. Looking over the other side of the boat, we saw a party from our
ship. We called to them several times before they recognized us. When
they boarded the ship, they told us that they had been looking for us since
sundown.
When we read the ship’s log the next day, we found an explanation of
almost everything. There the captain had written that for about two weeks
men of his crew had disappeared one at a time. With every disappear-
ance. the crew had heard a weird scream, supposed to be made by the mur-
dered man. The rest of the crew became terrorized. The ship’s instru-
ments were damaged, and there was no explanation for any of the occur-
rences. The ship was searched from end to end. but the murderer was nob
found. Thev hanged one man as a suspect, and still affairs became worse
and worse. In his last entry in the log look, the captain wrote that his
men were all sleeping around him and that he was going to bed. They had
not heard from the maniac, nor had any one been murdered for three days.
Apparently, the captain and crew had been killed that night by the
maniac, and the ship without crew blown ashore by a storm.

A FABLE LX SLANG
Once upon a time. Little Red Riding Hood’s mother said to her:
“Now listen, kid. You’d better hop down and see your grandmother.
or she’ll be cutting you out of her will.”
“Oh yeah? Sez you.” replied Red. “I want to play a round of minia-
ture golf.”
Nevertheless. Red. being practical-minded, knew her mother was right ;
so she telephoned her friends that she would be fifteen minutes late and
started off for the ordeal.
Eventually, she reached her destination. She gave the door an awful
thump and yelled.
“Yo ho. within! Little Red Riding Hood waits without!”
“Without what?” asked a voice from within.
"Aw, pipe down and unbar the entrance.’’ replied the fair lassie.
After a time the door opened, and Red Riding Hood tripped to her gran-
ny's trundle bed and said,
“Howdy.”
“Greetings, old bean,” wheezed Granny, whose asthma was getting stead-
ily worse.
“Why, Gran, what big blinkers you've got!” gushed Red, thinking it
well to use diplomacy.
“The better to lamp you with, old dear.” said Granny.
“What dainty ears you have!” said Red.
“The better to hear your silvery voice,” replied the old lady.
“And. Granny, what a dainty mouth you have !” the kid continued, think-
ing secretly of the Grand Canyon.
At that. Granny let forth a growl which didn’t sound exactly like asthma,
and she jumped out of bed. Red almost died of fright. It wasn’t Granny at
all. It was a horrid, mean old wolf who had just devoured Granny and was
planning to make short work of our heroine.

-=^==^== 8>. ffi. §>.
"Assistance, assistance! I'm in the clutches of a demon!” yelled Little
Red Riding Hood, who recalled the words of a story she had just read.
Her heart-rending cries reached the ears of some woodsmen who were
playing marbles nearby. Immediately their hearts were wrung and their
eyes dimmed with tears at the poor girl's plight. A meeting was held;
it was unanimously voted to save her; and they armed themselves and
dashed to the spot where the girl was struggling. After three rounds, in
which Red served as referee, the wolf was beaten, although he put up a
good fight.
The purpose of this story is to warn wolves not to go around mas-
querading as grannies.

RED LEAVES
Red leaves are blood.
Running through the fingers of a beautiful woman.

Falling on bare boughs.

Little wild brothers
To the swirling brown leaves.

Clad in seaweed and lace-like foam—
Her breath like the fragrant sea.

THE WIND
The wind is a cat which prowls about, sometimes gentle, sometimes
fierce. By day it is never still. It shows its playful spirit by whirling
paper onto newly raked lawns, by clawing at you. and by making merry with
a man who is luckless enough to be wearing a hat a size too large.
During the night, it races around corners with a shrill whistle, rattles
the windows, and howls down the chimney. It takes possession of the
sea, heaping waves into mountains of water, which crash with a roar on
the lonely reefs. It lashes the tossing ships that flee from its groping
claws.
Like a cat, the wind has two natures—one gentle and playful, the other
harsh and cruel.

'1'1 IE GYPSY
Autumn flung a mantle spun of flame
Over Earth’s green shoulders. Every tree
Bowed to greet the gypsy as she came.
Flaming from the mountains to the sea.
Like the wanderers of the moors ami hills.
She walks at night and leaves behind her gleams;
Wanton color, golden fire, she spills
On every hill to wake our gyjysy dreams.
When the harvest moon in blood and flame
Rises full to light her mad, fleet way.
Then she whispers every wanderer’s name.
Calls his vagabonding feet away.

DWELLERS LN THE DARKNESS
Most people like mystery stories, ghost stories, tales that raise their
hair ami people the dark with terrible, unspeakable things. Man has al-
ways taken a sort of grim joy in torturing his mind with horrible fancies.
Folk lore and fairy tales are full of them. 1 suppose they are all rather
like drugs with which we attempt to divert our minds from our more
tangible troubles.
I know I ought not to read this kind of book, yet it is just this type
that I cannot resist. It fascinates me so that I ignore good literature.
fill my mind with incredible things, and sit up for hours, unconscious of
anything but what 1 am reading.
Suddenly, as 1 hover breathless over the latest victim, and a slimy some-
thing stretches a feeler toward me, 1 hear the floor crack sharply. I start
instinctively, glance about with truly haunted eyes, and draw back in my
chair, trembling.
“Idiot!” I tell myself savagely.
I glance at the clock. It is after twelve. Slowly I realize that the
dismal wind has risen to a gale. It howls disconsolately about corners.
The loose shutter outside my window bangs to and fro irregularly as the
gusts strike it. A sudden maniacal shriek makes me ga,sp, until I realize
it is only the brakes of a car driving up next door. I hear its occupants
gibbering French to our neighbors.
I try to go back to my story again, but the dim corners of the room
are no longer friendly. Peopled with horrors, they draw my eyes again
and again. 1 get up and pull down my curtains, turning furtively, with
half-bared teeth, to the silence behind me.

A sleepy voice from the next room, unwittingly terrifying, calls to me
to go to bed. I grunt a reply. Throwing myself down in my chair.I kick
off my shoes and toss them noisily under the table. I fling my dress over
the back of a screen and the rest of my clothes, inside out, in a heap on
the chair.
Ready for bed at last, 1 raise my hand to put out the light. Some-
thing draws it back, and 1 peer feafully about me. 1 step from rug to rug
over to the window and peer out, shuddering. Bracing myself. T slam up the
window. Then I light a candle before pulling the light chain. In the semi-
darkness. 1 clutch my throat, trembling, while I try to raise courage enough
to quench that guttering flame, the only thing between me and the loath-
some creatures which dwell in darkness.
Suddenly I snuff out the flame with my fingers and dive into bed.
settling down into the warmth as 1 watch the complete darkness fade into
patches of black and grey. The gibbering below my window ceases, and
the gears grind. With a shriek of protest, the car is off, flashing a blade
of light through my room as it turns and rushes off through the night.
A door slams, and a light snaps off short like a steel blade. All is quiet.
yet I lie with taut nerves and burning eyes until nervous exhaustion forces
me into oblivion for the six short hours until sunrise.
In the morning I tell myself. “You idiot. You ought to know better
than to read that kind of book. It’s all nonsense, anyway.”
The next day when I am returning the book to the library, my eye catches
a row of titles—“The Murder of Roger Akroyde”—“Uncanny Tales”—“Not
at Night”—“Tales of Crime and Detection”—a bright-jacketed row plastered
with “Sax Rohmer.”
‘Oh. Mrs. Hanson. I can’t resist them. Which is the spookiest?” I gasp.

THE HOLDUP
“''"ten on it. Don!” cred Ralph. “The kids are right on our heels.”
Th* proc soon of cars wound slowly up the Mile Road from Wells
Beu-h. Our car and LilEan’s dodged in ard out among the others until
we were far in the lead, but before long we lost sight of Lillian's crowd.
“Now they have disappeared,” sighed Elizabeth in a little, tired voice.
“They’ve probably just stopped for gas.” T suggested.
“By George! I’ve got jn idea.” cried Don. turning off onto a dark wood
road. “You said you craved excitement, Almira. Well. I’ll find some for
you.”
“How?" we cried in unison.
“Now listen." said Don. “We will park the car in this road and hold up
the ‘gang’ when they come along.”
“Oh, good! Let’s hurry. They'll be along any minute now.” cried
Elizabeth, a little more excited now.
We all climbed eagerly from the car. Elizabeth and I concealed our-
selves in the bushes, while Don and Ralph hunted around in the road for
weapons. Ralph found two sticks and gave Don one.
“Here they come.” hissed Elizabeth, as the boys joined us.
The car came on slowly. When it was almost upon us, the boys stepped
to the edge of the road and stood in the shadow of a tree.
“Hands up!” they cried in chorus when the car came abreast.
We heard a girl scream; the car slowed down for a minute and then
gained speed and passed us. It turned the bend at such a rate that it al-
most upset.
Laughing, we all climbed back into my car.
“Hurry up. Don. and follow them!” cried Elizabeth. “But for heaven’s
sake, don't anyone tell them right off that we did this. Let’s get a good
laugh out of it first.”
We sped al! the way back to town without a sight of Lillian’s car.
When we reached Sanford, we saw six or eight policemen come pouring
out of the Town Hall. We stopped to sec what the excitement was. Two
motorcycle cops drove up. We heard them discussing which roads to patrol.
\ crowd had started to collect, and there was much shouting and confusion.
One of the officers came over to our car. With him was an elderly man,
who seemed to be very much upset.
“Did you just come from Wells?” the officer asked.
“Yes,” we said, eager to learn the cause of the excitement.
“Did you sec any bandits?” he asked. “This man was held up coming
home from Wells.”
58
Don and I looked at each other. Had we held up the wrong; car?
Someone must say something before they suspected us. T nudged Don.
"\\ ell—we did see a car parked near a wood road, but we thought it
was just a—well, just a parking party." stammered Don.
“That was the road and the car!” cried the elderly man. “Believe me,
if John had slowed up. I would have given one of those men a blow he
would never forget! Here conies another car. Let’s ask them.” And they
left us—to our great relief.
“What shall we do?” whimpered Elizabeth. “If my mother ever finds
out 1 held up a car, she won’t let me go out for weeks.”
“Well,” I wailed, “what about me? Dad will never let me take the car
again."
“Sh—sh!” cautioned Don. “The whole town will know if you don’t
keep still. Don’t tell anyone about this, and we’ll be sitting pretty.” Just
then Lillian drove up beside us.
“What’s all the excitement about?” she asked. “Is it right that there
has been a holdup? Gee, I wish they had picked on us! We’re craving ex-
citement! Come on; we're going places. Arc you kills with us?”
“No,” 1 said. “We're going home and get some sleep, so we’ll be all set
for tomorrow night.”
“Oh. Almira!” cried Lillian. “1 never heard you say you needed sleep
before. Come on ! We crave excitement.”
“Well, we did a while ago; but we've got bravely over it,” said Elizabeth
thoughtfullv. “We’ll see you in the morning.”

TOBIAS
Tobias, in the first months of life, was a round yellow ball with bright
eyes and a pink nose looking out of silky wool. Suddenly he began to
lengthen into an ungainly, lanky cat : and finally his bony body fattened
to a more respectable- form.
He is a lazy, good-natured cat. a favorite with the whole family, includ-
ing Grandmother, who has always disliked cats. Tobias has a sneaking.
snooping nature for exploring all corners of the house and takes great
pleasure in exercising his claws on the best carpet or tapestry chair. An-
other of his chief delights is to knock a spool to the floor and entangle
himself in the silk. It is funny to see him with a silly cat-grin on his
countenance and a thread dangling from the tip of a pointed ear. across a
green eye to a white whisker.
Grandmother’s prized plant often has its green leaves chewed if they
come within his reach. The coal bin offers a bowling alley where his furry
paw sends chunks of coal rolling; and a clean white bed-spread is his idea
of just the spot for a nap after that dusty and exhausting pastime.
When Tobias wants to be noticed, he brushes his purring body against
my legs and looks up with a questioning expression in his eyes. In .spite
of his badness, I love him. It is always pleasant to hear a spool rolled
across the floor by this clumsy, furry cat. or to see his rough and tumble
fight with a catnip mouse.

THE NO-SCHOOL SIGNAL
On a cohl, dark, stormy morning, when one trudges through deep fall-
en snow, his one thought is the “no-school signal.” Everyone is tramping
along, slipping and sliding and making audible protests about a certain red
lm:ck schoolhouse.
A few students are al school, many on the way. and a sprinkling of
lucky students still at home when the mournful three blasts wail. Everyone
stops and straightens up. Smiles and grins break out. Excitable pupils
stage a pantomine of thanksgiving. Right-about-face is the general order.
In a short time, the streets are deserted. The school authorities have de-
cifled that the roads are impassable; therefore, many students proceed to
keen the telephone wires warm with plans for snowshoe hikes and sliding
parties! By providing us with pleasure and entertainment in the middle
of a tedious school term, the signal has proved that it is worth its weight
in gold.

WINTER
Silently, silently, the snow drifts down ;
Clothing the earth in a cloud-white gown;
Desolate, bare are the arms of the oak.
And all the leafless forest folk.
Cold and grey, through the winter sky.
Lonely, the far bird-calls drift by.
The fields are grim; the mountains, white;
And silently the owls hunt, thru the white night.
Silently, silently, the snow drifts down.
Clothing the earth in a cloud-white gown.
Above the cloud bank climbs the moon.
Stepping up in silver shoon ;
She weaves a gown of fairy gold.
Weaves it for the Queen of Cold;
She weaves a shift and weaves a veil
For the bride of the Cold-King, trembling and pale.
A veil of moonbeams, jewels of snow—
Where does the bride of the Cold-King go?

No candles burn
In yonder homes;
None are about
But tiny gnomes.
The moonbeams slant
Across the floor;
A tiny face
Is at the door.
The clock strikes twelve.
Through key-hole thin,
The tiny gnomes
Come crowding in.
They stand amazed
Before the tree,
Then laugh and shout
And jump with glee.
The tree is decked
With trimmings bright;
The gifts are wrapped
In green and white.
One brave gnome climbs
A popcorn string;
One mounts the drum ;
The others sing.
The clock strikes one;
The gnomes then start;
With guilty squeaks.
They all depart.
No candles burn
Tn yonder homes.
None are about—
Not even gnomes.

ATHLETICS
= S>. IS. =_________
-----------------------------------------——
During our four years in high school, the class of 1931 has been out-
standing in athletics. We have a record for being clean sportsmen, hard
fighters, and good losers. We have shown the school that we can win
with’praise for the loser ami lose with a smile.
We have won, during our four years, six interclass championships, a
record which has never been equaled by any other class. Our sophomore
year, the girls won the interclass hockey tournament. The next year, the
girls and boys both triumphed in basketball; and the boys won in track.
Our senior year, the boys won in basketball and track.
Les Norton has earned more letters than any other member of the
class. He has received seven in all. Ray Morrill has six, and Sunny Lit-
tlefield holds third place with five.
We wish the succeeding classes the best of luck in all their athletic
programs.

The class of 1931 has always been outstanding in track. As a freshman,
Carl Hanson could easily out-jump any man on the team. He steadily im-
proved. and we regret that he could not have remained with us during our
last two years. Chandler DeMelle proved a valuable asset to the team
last year. He was high point winner in the dual meet with Thornton
Academy. Sunny Littlefield has repeatedly starred in the low hurdles and
now holds the school record. He has won two medals at the Bates Inter-
Scholastics, where he met the best the state has to offer. He has been

GIRLS’ INTERCLASS BASKETBALL
The girls of the class of 1931 have showed great proficiency in basket-
ball. Elsie Howgate, Arlene Giles, Muriel McFarland. Mildred Mellor, Leona
Baron, Vivian Roberge. Christine Whitehouse, and Bertha Meunier have
all received their “S” for service.
A large group of girls has turned out every year for interclass games.
Our freshman year, we were defeated by the sophomores with a score 15-7.
With Elsie Howgate and Alice Hammond as forwards, Arlene Giles as jump-
ing center, and Bertha Meunier and Muriel McFarland as guards, our soph-
omore team proved to be victorious over both freshman and senior girls.
Our junior year was as successful. Elsie Howgate still starred for her
class and carried us to victory.
The interclass games were omitted our senior year, but we feel sure
that our team could still have held its title if there had been an opportunity
to meet the other classes. -
During our senior year, a team consisting of Arlene Giles, Elsie Howgate,
Glenna Hobbs, Mildred Mellor, Leona Baron, and Muriel McFarland was
defeated by the women of the faculty 25-24. Interclass basketball has al-
ways created much enthusiasm in the class of '31, and our girls have been
unusually successful in this sport.
67
I NTE R M UR A L BASK ET I ’»AI.I
During our junior year, a new system of intermural basketball was
adopted. Muriel McFarland. Arlene Giles. Bertha Meunier, and Elsie How-
gate were captains of teams. Barbara Webster. Glenna Hobbs, and Leona
Baron were experienced players. Thirty games were scheduled our junior
year, each team playing five games. The squad captained by Muriel Mc-
Farland won every game. For their good work, all members were awarded
red felt basketballs with the numerals ’31 on them.
The same system was carried out our senior year, with Elsie I low-
gate, Glenna Hobbs, Arlene Giles, Muriel McFarland, Mildred Mellor, and
Pauline Moulton captains. After several hard-fought games, Muriel Mc-
Farland’s team again proved to be the winner.
The six letter girls of our class with Coach Everett formed an organ-
ization known as the New “S” Chib. These six girls—Leona Baron. Ar-
lene Giles, Elsie Howgate. Muriel McFarland. Mildred Mellor, and Vivian
Roberge—have enjoyed many good times throughout the year.
During our senior year, the Girls’ Athletic Association was formed. This
consists of all the girls of S. H. S. who take part in at least one sport.
Meetings are held regularly on the first Monday of every month. This
year Elsie Howgate has served as president.
CAM EXHIBITION AND MINOR SPORTS
The first gym exhibition presented by Sanford High School was held
in the Town Hall when we were freshmen. The girls of ’31 presented a
dumbbell drill. When we were sophomores, a very effective wand drill
was given by the girls of our class, along with two old-fashioned dances.
Relays were also a feature of this program. In these, we were winners
over the freshmen; seniors, over the juniors. In a final contest with the
seniors, we proved to be the victors. Clogging and a wand drill were pre-
sented our junior year in the annual exhibition.
For minor sports, the girls of our class have been interested in base-
ball and hockey. In the fall of 1927 and 1928. Glenna Hobbs, Elsie How-
gate, Bertha Meunier. Arlene Giles, Pauline Moulton, ami Mildred Morris
were some of the members of the baseball teams, which practiced twice a
week and had very exciting games among themselves.
Field hockey has been carried on for three years. Muriel McFarland led
the team which defeated Berwick Academy at Goodall Park on November
13, 1930. The return game was a tie. Elsie Howgate, Germaine Baron,
Mildred Mellor, Barbara Webster, Muriel McFarland, and Leona Baron
were each awarded a white hockey ball with red numerals on it.
BOYS’ INTERCLASS BASKETBALL GAMES
Freshman Year
We were proud of our frosh team. In the semi-finals, we defeated the
sophs 14-11. and in the finals we gave the juniors a gram! fight for the
championship. The final score was 25-14. and everyone remarked on the
fight and speed of the freshman five. Captain Hanson and Ray Morrill
proved to he a fine combination. Red Carlysle, Newt Hutchins. Flash Jellis-
on. Les Norton, ami Guy Kimball had the honor of representing their class
in these games.
Sophomore Year
During our second year, we won over the freshmen by a large margin.
We were in turn beaten by the seniors by a close score, and by the juniors
very badly. Although we were not victorious, those attending the games
know the great fight that the sophomores showed. Ray Morrill, our cap-
tain, and Red Carlysle were the stars. Norton, Hutchins, and Jellison made
up the remainder of the team.
Junior Year
Our junior year, we secured a good start by defeating the freshmen
37-0 in a game that lasted only two quarters. The next day in the hardest-
fought game of our whole career and the best game in the annals of
Sanford High School interclass competition, we downed the seniors 20-16.
The finals were played the next day with the class of '32. After being
led by the sophomores 8-0. Captain Goodwin changed the offensive attack
and sank seven baskets. The game ended 16-10 in our favor. Those play-
ing for the Blue and White were Capt. Goodwin. Red Carlysle. Chandler
DeMelle, Earl Libby, Ralph Worcester, and Douglas Metcalfe.
Senior Year
In order that the beneficial custom of interclass games might be kept
up, we challenged any class that wished to make a hid for the champion-
ship. As we expected, the challenge was answered by the class of ’32.
A fiery fray took place Thursday. May 7th. The senior boys, led by Cap-
tain Goodwin, came out ahead 13-10. Carlysle, Griffin. Metcalfe. Libbey,
Worcester and Mansur played for the seniors.

TUMBLING TEAM
1930-31
One of the features of the annual gym exhibition was the boy’s tumbling
team. Many seniors took an active part in this sport. One of the team’s
best acrobats is Charles DeHaven. Leslie Norton was also a valuable
member of the team.

INTERCLASS TRACK
Freshman Year
We began our brilliant class record in track at the first annual inter-
class track and field meet. Captain Carl Hanson ’31 was the individual
star of the meet, winning the pole-vault and the high jump. He placed
second in the 220 yd. dash, bringing the freshman total to 13 points. The
sophomores made 3. the seniors 24%. and the juniors 69% points.
Sophomore Year
Repeating his success of the year before, Captain Carl Hanson starred
again for the class of '31. He won the high jump with 5 ft. 3 inches, an
interclass record that still stands. He placed second in the 220 hurdles
and second in the pole-vault. Ralph Worcester crossed the finish line for
third in the half-mile. These places gave us a total of 12 points, against
4 for the freshmen. 32 for the juniors, and 60 for the seniors.
JuniorYear
Running true to form in every event, the class of 1931 piled up a large
margin on the other classes in the 3rd annual track meet. The meet opened
with the 100 yard dash. Eleven seconds later, a loud and joyous cheer
went up from the ranks of the Blue and White as three juniors swept

HUMOR
JOKES
HIGH SCHOOL DAYS
Once I was a FRESHMAN,
Scared of everyone;
"Be careful,” was my motto.
“But have a little fun.”
W hen i was a SOPHOMORE,
’Twas on the board I wrote
Things that made our teachers laugh
And things that got their goat.
When T was a JUNIOR.
I tried to use my brain.
I acted like a gentleman.
Instead of raising Cain.
Now I am a SENIOR.
There is in me no fear;
For all my lessons are complete.
.And the end of school is near.
—CHARLES Dell AVEN.

Mrs. Earle: Vlacheas. what about conservation of forests?
Vlacheas: The government has passed a law against forest fires.

AMBITTON'
If T could do all T desire.
I’m certain that I would retire
From the learning of rules
And the teachings of schools;
And with the brains of a fish. I’d exjvire.
—GOLDEN GREENLEAF.
THE RED BUG
The little red Bug is a worn-out car,
W hich cannot go so very far
Before you have to fix a tire.
Walk home for gas, or clean off the mire.
When you’re riding, 'tis a natural thing
To hear a loud, metallic ring;
The engine starts to knock and flutter.
And you all get out and stop the sputter.
The Bug is owned by a boy named Newt,
Who, when autos are mentioned, tries to keep mute ;
For he knows, though his car is just a has-been.
She’s a pretty good car for the shape she’s in.
—CHARLES DeHAVEN.
LOGIC

ORAL ENGLISH
On the teacher’s spreading platform,
The shaking pupil stands,
A boy, a tall and gawky lad,
With monstrous feet and hands;
And his locks of curly bright red hair
Glow bright as fire brands.
His speech is weighty, dull, and long;
His face is brown with tan;
His knees they shake and almost quake;
He says whate’er he can
And looks the whole class in the face,
For he knows no other plan.
The pupils passing to and fro
Look in at the open door;
They love to see his flaming face
And hear the students roar
And catch a few short words that fly
Like chaff from a threshing floor.
He struggles on as best he can;
His voice keeps growing weak;
He hesitates, looks at the wall.
And tries again to speak.
Alas! he fails in the attempt
And turns to take his seat.
—MURIEL GOODWIN.
